Ed Ruscha, Erika Skoda, Vienna
1961

A black and white photo of a man and a woman standing back-to-back with the man looking over his shoulder at the camera and the woman facing forward with a slight smile. Both are dressed in warm clothing, suggesting a cool weather setting. The background is overexposed, making details hard to discern, but it appears to be an outdoor setting with a few indistinct figures in the distance.
